What game would you say is the easiest part 2.
Last thread >>57188498
Never reached a conclusion
>>
And we never will because of eternal shitposting.
No if you post after me you're contributing to flamewarring.
>>
>>57193138
it was probably said in the last one, but X&Y is oftentimes said to be the perfect game to start your nuzlocke-ing journey with, so.. maybe that one? but then again challenge runs are kinda aids so y'know.

maybe it's sword and shield because technically you can just grind the fuck out of the wild area and get your pokemon to level 80+ before you even beat the first gym?

that's my thought process anyway.
I adore both games, btw, this isn't said out of hate, this is said out of love and knowledge of the games.

I still gotta say SV basegame, since its ridiculously easy for (you) to overlevel, even on accident.
>57193147
Is it flamewarring, jannie, if we're being respectful and polite, or is any opinion you disagree with, jannie, a flamewarring opinion?
>>57193153
Always thought there was some sorta lock on SS's wild area mons that prevented you from taking too much of an advantage from their higher levels.
>>57193161
I personally only measure the base-game, since that has fewer opportunities for abuse to take place, even if some still occur.

Not a janny but I'm observing a simple fact that the previous thread OP linked was an absolute cesspool.

makes sense, these things can devolve from one guy going "yeah this game? I fucking hate this game, so it's the easiest"

there is for the wild area, but there's no lock for EXP candies. my friend had a level 60 inteleon before he beat the 2nd gym iirc.

Got this and Pokerus from just leveling my niggas up so by the time I got to the Fairy gym my team was fully EV trained. Granted it was garbage stats but whatever.
ACTUALLY it wouldn't have mattered cause the game gives you that EV training minigame before the first gym lulmao
>>
>>57193138
The correct answer is Let's Go. These games have:
>Forced EXP Share
>Forced Affection bonuses
>Awakening Values which can add a raw 200 bonus to any stat with no cumulative limit

I don't give a shit about this eternal BW/XY war, the answer is Let's Go.

The Gamblers in LGPE have overleveled Pokemon, retard. Fissure’s accuracy shoots up if the Pokemon is a higher level than yours.

>>
>>57193364
The problem with forced EXP share is that you can't turn it off when you're overleveled. It's perfectly fine to help weak mons catch up, but they don't need the extra EXP when you're 10 levels above every other trainer.

>>57193370
>it has no correlation even though exp gain is single handedly the best predictor of if a game is easy or not
Technically true. Every single Gen 7+ game is harder than every single Gen 1-6 game, so not really. So exp share actually implies that the game is harder.

>>57193385

Yes, because I have a chance of losing against an NPC spamming Fissure with a fast Pokemon. I have no chance of losing against any NPC in gen 5.

Good thing I get less overleveled in newer games compared to gen 5, then.
>>
>>57193409
>the chances are the way I say they are
You have less chances losing in the game where you’re overleveled and roughing everything out. This doesn’t apply to Gen 5. I could just as easily say something like “volt switch” and demand you put the pieces together like the retard you are.

It's still really inaccurate. It only goes up by 1% per level. Also, I was overleveled at the time. I didn't grind and I fought the average amount of trainers.

Exp share games overlevel people more so therefore they’re easier. Take that to the bank, jank.

Agreed, which is exactly why Gen 5 is easier.

Yes it does.

>>57193432
> Yes, they very obviously do
In FRLG I can easily have a lv36+ starter by the time I reach Lt Surge.
In LGPE this is basically impossible without heavy grinding on wild Pokemon because the game is modified such that trainers give extremely little exp.

Which is why saying “exp share exists so the game is easier!” Is a fucking braindead argument and just demonstrates you didn’t actually play LGPE.
>>

Lethal injection for the obvious psycho who will NEVER explain his assertions.
>>
>>57193398
And I know exactly how they work.
All OHKO moves have 30% accuracy, however that increases by 1% for every level you have above your opponent. They fail against Pokémon that are higher level. In the case of this Fissure Diglett, it's actually quite easy to avoid him. But if you absolutely have to fight him, it's easy, there's plenty of flying types available at this point.
>>
>>57193444
>yes it does
No it doesn’t.
>this thing is possible via grinding but this other things doesn’t count as grinding
You can’t actually believe your bullshit, can you?
>>
>>57193444
>heavy grinding
You just catch the ones you see and you'll be overleveled very quickly. There's no reason not to catch everything you see because it only takes a few seconds per mon. You'd be playing like a retard on purpose if you just walked past them.
>>
>>57193451
>and exp share increases your level moreso,
Moreso relative to what? Each game has different exp balancing, you retard.
>>
>>57193412
You must not have played Gen 5. The Exp formula makes it difficult to overlevel

Not really. Gen 5 is the easiest game to overlevel in right behind Gen 6.

Now post the Lv8 Clefairy you claim to have caught right at the end of Mt. Moon, where they don't spawn that low.
>>
>>57193474
No it doesn't. Only active demons get EXP, the ones that participate in battle. Demons in stock don't get any.
>>
>>57193444
No it doesn't. Gen 5's exp formula makes it almost impossible to overlevel.

And that's not how LGPE's exp formula works. Trainers give just as much exp as catching. You'd know this if you actually played the game.
>>
>>57193485
Yes, exactly like how in Pokemon the Pokemon in your PC don't get EXP.
>>
>>57193456
I completed an area's dex as much as possible upon entering it. I was like 3 levels above everyone else. Fought every trainer and by the time I was at Erika my whole team was 40+
>>
>>57193486
I don't know the actual formula for either but I'm 100% positive that catching a Lv10 Pidgey will give more XP than defeating a Lv10 Pidgey in a trainer battle. Maybe not the base value, but trainer battles don't have all those throw bonuses stacking with each other.
>>
>>57193486
>Gen 5's exp formula makes it almost impossible to overlevel
This isn't remotely true and the only reason you think this is because you haven't actually tried it and just parrot what other people say.

Go ahead and fire up a Gen 5 playthrough without wasting exp on six pokemon the entire time like a retard and I guarantee you will overlevel extremely quickly.
>>
>>57193500
Why'd you stop at the dex? Just catch everything in your path, there's no reason not to. Don't play like a retard on purpose.
>>
>>57193498
Stock isn't your PC, that's the compendium. Stock demons are equivalent to a Pokémon game's party.
>>
>>57193468
Really? Prove it?
How the hell can you end up drastically overleveled in Gen 5 when the experience you gain when overleveled is cut, allowing the game's level curve to catch up.

I've played BW in so many ways, solo runs, nuzlockes, training a full team of six etc. Every single time, I was no more than 1 or 2 levels over and this was after fighting every trainer available at any point.
>>
>>57193512
Ok, then you're flat out lying about SMTV and coping over not having played it.
>>
>>57193516
>>57193508
>>
>>57193517
Unless this is some "QOL" bullshit they added for Vengeance, I am positive that only demons that participate in battle get EXP.
>>
>>57193503
The base values without the modifiers are the same according to the code. Though I've never actually caught something without at least one modifier.
>>
>>57193508
I've played it countless times
1. Having a team of multiple Pokémon is technically the intended way.
2. I've done solo runs. I rarely end up more than a couple levels over if I fight every NPC.
>>
>>57193533
You forgot to hack in a Lucky Egg like yawnie always does
>>
>>57193509
I mostly just focused on shit I needed. I did try to shiny hunt a few times later on but stopped as by the time I got to the E4, I was like 20 levels over.
>>
>>57193533
>2. I've done solo runs.
Go ahead most proof of you doing a solo run and not overleveling without purposefully skipping every trainer.
>>
>>57193503
Trainer battles haven't had an EXP multiplier since Gen 7, which is interestingly another weird anomaly that potentially makes Gen 6 one of the easier gens. I personally still think BDSP is way easier in the campaign due to the way the game is designed (which is to say it's less designed around the systems than Let's Go if that's possible), although Let's Go has a strong argument as well, but that's neither here nor there. SV has way too high variance to say anything definitive about it, which I would argue is really bad in a game that relies heavily on any sort of linear leveling system, but does mean it's potentially more difficult than basically every other Pokemon title on the Switch (unless somebody here wants to go to bat for PLA then be my guest).
>>
>>57193536
Pretty sure you get one for free, though I don't think I've used it.
>>
>>57193544
I don't have proof because I never thought I'd need to prove anything.
>>
>>57193465
In general. You mention exp balancing but never actually use it as an argument for why any game is easier or harder.
>>57193470
How is that a bad argument? You brought up grinding first, Biden.

>>57193521
That's not proof, but this is>>57193533

>>57193517
How's that a lie? Why is your last resort always "y-you just don't know what you're talking about!" whenever someone proves you're a shitposter?

>>57193544
NTA. This wouldn't prove anything. This technique would over level you in every game, but in BW less so because your exp gains are slower than the curve when overlevelled, preventing you from getting too overlevelled
>>

From Easiest to Hardest:
1- LGPE (made for grandparents and streamers)
2- X/Y (the game doesn't even try to defeat you)
3- RBE/ORAX (Swampert is OP and a grass/electric pokemon steamrolls it)
4- SV (not only everything handholds you with tons of free items, but the free overworld battles makes everything fast and easy)
5- SWSH (another game that pretends you are a drooly who just want to see Charizard and not to play a game)
6- SM (Totems are strong if you are not prepared, and the 2nd half legendaries and UBs can put up a fight)
7- RBY/FRLG (awful movepools and limited access to TMs before post-game make your pokemon feel weak which forces you to rely on super-effective damage or overleveling)
8- GEN4 (awful wild pokemon distribution and most of them are Kanto shitmons. that's why everyone uses the same team)
9- BW/BW2 (the AI actually tries and those shadow ninja goons have strong teams)
10- USUM (same as SM but Necrozma, yes you can cheese it but still)
>>
>>57194156
>8- GEN4 (awful wild pokemon distribution and most of them are Kanto shitmons. that's why everyone uses the same team)
Torterra and Luxray literally steamroll Gen 4

been a while but I remember there were lots of ice pokemon and I couldn't use Torterra that much in the 2nd half
>>
>>57194180
>gen 2
Feraligatr sweeps, unironically. Bite deals with psychics, Surf is a stab 90 bp move, Ice Punch is peak anti-grass/dragon/flying, and i used Strength as the physical coverage. Yeah its 2 hms, but theyre good moves. A bit sad Lance peaked at level 50 with 3 dragonite.
>>
>>57194156
Seems like we have the same list, while the games aren't that hard, gen 7 and gen 5 seem to have given me more trouble than the rest. The sky battles in XY did caught me off-guard since I only use one flying type per team but even then I was able to unga bunga them due to the exp share making sure everyone gets their slice of exp.
>>
>>57194169
>Torterra
From what I remembered in my Platinum playthrough it really suffers from the typing. Not a lot of resistances and that everyone and their grandma's have ice and fire coverage. Sick design though, love the guy.
>>
>>57194180
Never really thought of Gen 2 as difficult. Any reasons in particular?
>>
>>57194203
yeah I heard Feral makes the game easy. needs to replay it with it someday.
I chose Chikorita and Cyndaquil and I found myself needing to grind before gyms a bit.
Unironically I wish EXP share was a thing in early games to cut down leveling time or maybe I was playing too fast?
>>57194212
True. Gen5 in particular with Snivy was hellish.
>>57194276
it's not difficult, it just you don't have many options early game and the gym leaders have a big gap in levels so you will face yourself needing to grind since there's no EXP share.
my first run was with Chikorita and her movepool didn't make things easier
>>
>>57193138
It's XY from the mainline games, objectively the easiest one would be Let's GO though.

>>57193138
We can discard gen 1 to 5 as the easiest, seeing as they don't have any friendship derivative mechanics nor easy QoL meant to trivialize the game like super and hyper training.
With that in mind, I'd narrow down the contenders to:
>XY
>Let's GO
>SwSh
My reasoning for disqualifying the rest:
>ORAS
Although ORAS suffers a lot of XYs faults as well as RSE's, and even goes out of their way to get you a free mega Latios/Latias, it's worth mentioning that those two are not great against any of the Elite 4, and by the time you get them they are also not effective against any of the remainder gym leaders. You can trivialize the difficulty of the game past 6th gym, but it also has Elite 4 rematches.
>BDSP
Although it has a lot of modern QoL, it also provides upgrades to the Elite 4 rematches, with it still being as solid as it was in DP. Game also has some extra challenges like the Shadow Giratina boss.
>SM & USUM
Although not that hard, Totem fights are probably harder than most gym leaders in the series, even with Z-moves they are hard to get rid of, usually have stage hazards in their favor especially weather and have omniboosts on top of reinforcements. Mega evolution not present until post-game.
>SV
Very easy to get over levelled and predictable gyms, however it has a handful of hard fights worth mentioning like Champion Nemona, Sada and Turo, Ogerpon, Drayton, Kieran, and everything that gets updated once the DLC is done averages the lv80
>>
Burgh is honestly quite challenging with just a Servine
>>
It's a tossup between XY and SwSh

On one hand, XY quite literally hands the player so many incredible FREE encounters back to back, the bosses are largely a joke, and the regional dex is generally full of incredibly good options.

On the other hand, SwSh can be broken open significantly harder than XY, but it requires a decent amount of game knowledge and paying for the DLC

I'd ultimately give it to XY since you can literally sleepwalk through that entire game with minimal effort or knowledge. You could literally just make a team out of all the good gift/static encounters and bulldoze your way through. Hell, that's what I did when the game first came out (sans a single Meowstic M)
>>
Objectively XY and LGPE, every other answer is yawnie seething
>>
Servine is Level 28, just beat Burgh, about 3 levels above curve

> We can discard gen 1 to 5 as the easiest, seeing as they don't have any friendship derivative mechanics nor easy QoL meant to trivialize the game
every single gen 1-5 game is easier than every single gen 7+ game. And gen 5 absolutely does have QoL meant to trivialize the game. Why do you think the game gives you a Lucky Egg for free? Or spams Audino everywhere? Or make the gym leaders and E4 absolutely pathetic and only use 3/4 Pokemon at most?
>>
>>57195250
>theyre piss easy because I say so!
Image disregarded.
You can’t possibly shit on the lucky egg but then cocksuck exp share and pretend it’s not the equivalent of a bunch of lucky eggs, to be forced on you later at that.
The audino point can apply to other grindable mons, and the amount of mons the type specialists aren’t a bad thing unless it’s made in an easier way than before, which they aren’t. You wouldn’t want a full team of magikarp to fight against, wouldn’t you? Team COMPOSITION is what matters and no one’s complaining.

It’s clear you don’t actually believe what you’re spewing and use different standards for different games so it’s fine if you decide to log off now.

Not really. It just seems like a bunch of people who didn’t actually play the game and are just parroting retarded shit to sound smart.

>>57195351
>Please explain how the exp share doesn't make the game easier
Anon I hate to break this to you but there’s an entire game surrounding the exp share with its own mechanics. The exp share doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Hence why there are dozens of game drastically harder than shit like gen 5 even with a forced exp share. Meanwhile gen 5 threw in the Lucky Egg WITH a bunch of other casualization mechanics and making the bosses SHITTIER, while otherwise remaining the same as before.
>>
>>57195250
SMT does not have EXP share for party members that do not participate in battle.
>>
>>57195394
Yes it does.
>>
>>57195392
>Not really
Yes really. You're just saying "that doesn't count" to sound smart
>the exp share doesn't exist in a vacuum
Then explain what supposedly cancelled out its effects, which you never do. All the casualization rings you point out in Gne 5, as minor as they are, still exist in games after it, and only exacerbated. Lucky egg became several times worse with exp share, audino grinding in the wild became mini games that EV train you easy too easily, giftmons increased and some had megas, and the smaller teams ACTUALLY became shiftily composed after Gen 5.
Please tell me the actual FACTOR that made Gen 5 easy in your eyes that doesn't apply to the games you say are somehow hard now.
>>
>>57195413
>You're just saying "that doesn't count"
Not really.
>Then explain what supposedly cancelled out its effects,
The bosses actually having EVs, free stat boosts, 2v1ing you, not making it absurdly easy to overlevel multiple Pokemon, making the game not linear as fuck, and making levels matter less for damage calculation all cancel it out pretty heavily.

>still exist in games after it
The difference is that the games after gen 5 are actually balanced.
>>
>>57195413
>audino grinding in the wild became mini games that EV train you easy too easily
nta but to be wholly honest, i do prefer super training over just not telling the player about EVs at all, since the former gives the player more control over what stats they invest in. you'd barely ever figure out what EVs are if no one ever told you, let alone how to increase the ones you want, outside of vague mentions of "effort" by random judge NPCs, and even then they don't tell you anything about that effort, just "nah you still have EVs you can allocate"
now, if you ask me they should have taken this opportunity to start giving trainer mons EVs as well, since after all now that the player has knowledge on how to use a mechanic to their advantage the AI should be using it as well to test how well the player uses it, but i can't recall if they actually ever give trainer mons EVs in ANY game outside of maybe battle facilities
>>
>>57195428
>Not really.
Yes really. That
s exactly what you did I your post without actually addressing the points, instead pretending they don't exist to save face.
>EVs, free stat boosts, 2v1ing you
this is more than canceled out by being much more overlevelled thanks to exp share, plus affection bonuses rendering them worthless
>not making it absurdly easy to over level multiple pokemon
this isn't the case in gen 5 but is the case with every exp share game
>making the game no linear as fuck
every game after gen 5 is more linear than it with exception to remakes and SV
>making levels matter less
elaborate
>the games after gen 5 are actually balanced.
no they aren't because you're more likely to be over leveled in those and curbstomp the enemies without trying, whereas that isn't the case with gen 5 and previous games

>>57195525
Why would I use more than one Pokemon in a game with EXP Share? I don't have to use the Pokemon to level them up, and if you don't play like a retard it's easy to just mash A through every battle with a single Pokemon. To put it a different way, I could probably nearly complete a living Pokedex without using more than 2 Pokemon (one would be for any double battle in the game) in XY. I cannot do the same thing in the previous games without insane amounts of grinding. Similarly, the mechanic also makes the hard Gen 7 titles even easier as more overall EXP makes the benefits of EXP scaling break down a bit (as seen by the time Yawnfag played B2 on Challenge Mode while excessively using the Lucky Egg).
>>
>>57195575
>Why would I use more than one Pokemon in a game with EXP Share?
Because the bosses are hard enough that it isn’t beatable with a single Pokemon unless that single Pokemon happens to be an exact counter to whatever the boss is. Good fucking luck beating Mela in SV with just Floragato or Araquanid in USUM with just Torracat.
>>
>>57195250
Actual troglodyte image. The QoL in question is not just the Exp Share but the Super Training and Hyper Training available as well as the friendship cheese you get access to. Any challenge will get trivialized over this, hence why Gen 1-5 cannot be the easiest.
>>
>>57195559
>therefore [boogeyman scenario I just invented]
Try again, schizo.
>Because the bosses are hard enough
Stopped right there. According to you the best way to beat these so called """hard""" bosses is to allocate all exp to one mon to get it as Hugh as possible and steamroll the game.
>b-but type matchups
existed in previous games. There's no argument saying they encourage you to use more mons in newer games but not in old ones. You're using circular logic and saying newer games are harder because of being harder.

This is the dumbest post I've seen in a while, and it's funny because I have this weird gut feeling that it'll ever actually be supported and followed up on. The poster of it will never explain why that somehow doesn't fit the definition of QoL, nor will he ever explain why that's suddenly "excessive grinding".

>>57195250
The trainers in BW have harder A.I. and many have held items and strong movesets. Lenora's Watchog is a huge difficulty spike, outspeeding almost everything else at the time, almost always OHKOing anything with a STAB Retaliate (Herdier fainted last turn) then proceeding to spam Crunch (a very powerful move for that point.) and Hypnosis for the unprepared. Also out of every Gen 7+ game, USUM was the only one that had any consistent challenge. SWSH was piss easy, BDSP was easy up until the E4, PLA actually was somewhat challenging, however the hard parts were the boss battles where you throw balms, not the actual Pokémon battles. SV was mostly easy with a few somewhat hard battles (mostly because I couldn't decide on a team and kept switching members), specifically, A.I. Professor and Lacey.
>>
>>57196438
>The trainers in BW have harder A.I. and many have held items and strong movesets
I don't think we played the same game

>Lenora's Watchog is a huge difficulty spike
>>57194056
>>
>>57195302
It does actually. It statisticaply makes it easier to overlevel. An example is SWSH, without adjusting your team around, you'll likely have multiple party members in the 70s or 80s by the time you fight Leon, assuming no DLC. It's similar in SV as well, without the DLC, it's easy to end up overleveled. Compare that to BW, unless you fight every trainer and wild Pokémon you find with just one Pokémon, you won't end up more than 4-5 levels higher due to the exp formula.

So? They didn't take into account critical hits, or natures or that the Servine might be weakened from fighting the Herdier. Plus the Watchog is likely to tank a hit or two.

Yeah you must've played a rom hack that makes it easier, or you pulled a yawnfag and grinded to get overleveled.
>>
>>57196640
Have you ever thought that you're just bad and that normal people don't have any difficulty beating games made for kids?

>>57196514
*sigh*
The BW exp formula makes it harder to overlevel. Once you get 2-3 levels above the curve (which requires battling every trainer with one mon), it's much more likely to even out later on. If you disagree, go play the game. Plus that image doesn't explain why things are difficult.
>>
who even decided Gen 5 is the easiest when let's go pee is the easiest thanks to multiplayer?
>>
>>57196582
That's not necessarily the hardest fight. Any fight in any game can be hard for anyone. Even with the Chesto Berries, there's still Retaliate and Crunch to deal with. I personally find Elesa harder with her Volt Switch spamming.

Easy when 15 levels below? Have you actually tried it? It's basically impossible. Everything outspeeds and oneshots you anyway. May as well be Level 1.

>>57196698
I know that's Sarcasm but Sandile can't even deal much damage to the Emolga, it is immune to the electric moves, but it can't super effectively hit Emolga without significant overleveling, and none of it's Dark moves (assuming average IVs, EVs and a neutral nature) can OHKO, usually taking at least three hits.

It's more of an estimate based on heavily analyzing the online community. I've checked 4chan, YouTube, Reddit, Serebii Forums, Bulbagarden, SerenesForest (a Fire Emblem site but there's a lot of Pokémon posts), and GameFaqs.

Go to any of those communities, make a poll asking them which gen is the hardest or easiest. Or ask them if there's any difficulty whatsoever in Pokémon.

Is this true from the other thread?
>BW2 on launch gave you a free Genesect. If you played the easy 3DS minigame you would also get Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus with your OT in the starting town. If you owned any DS games, then through the same method you would also have access to each of their respective box legendaries (with hidden abilities, which matters a lot for the HGSS ones at least).

You could legitimately have a team of Genesect, regenerator Ho-oh, Palkia, and Lando-T before reaching the catching tutorial.

Still doesn't change my opinion.
>>
>>57196964
You’re allowed to have you opinion. Fortunately that’s all it’s relegated to.

>>57196925
I know they distributed them but I’m pretty sure you can’t receive them that early.
>>
>>57196765
I'm looking at them now, it's regarded as easy with some difficulty spikes. I don't need to be overleveled nor did I imply it. Usually I can handle the games just fine either at or just below. The point was, that it's easiest to overlevel in the games with Exp Share, in particular anything after LGPE because they removed the option to turn it off, which I will never understand (I swear if it's like "What if a kid accidentally turns it off and makes the game too hard")
>>
>>57196771
It's hard to get legendaries before the first gym in Gen 5. Only ones you can hypothetically get regularly are the Dream Radar ones, but back in the day, that was a seperate purchase (plus digital only, which most kids can't just do.). Dream Radar is also exclusive to the 3DS, which not every kid would have access to. It's also an online download which most kids probably didn't have access to as back then, parents either had no internet, or they severely limited it. Dream Radar is also very time consuming, without mods, it'll likely take a couple days just to get Tornadus (though iirc you can use play coins to get more of those dream clouds or whatever, but that requires effort and kids tend to be lazy or willing to find a shortcut). Plus it's quite hard. Took me about three tries for Tornadus the first time I played it.

Idk why people keep ignoring this about lgpe, this puts it over the edge imo

>>57197341
I've never played LGPE, though it does make sense being one of the easier games due to it intentionally being marketed towards GO players.

Doesn't matter. Yawnie isn't trying to have a real debate, so he will never concede anything. He will just move goalposts, parrot nonsensically, make shit up, or just ignore anything he doesn't like. At least this godforsaken thread has been abandoned, but he'll be here tomorrow somewhere else
>>
>>57197602
Explain why. Everyone else who gave an answer explained why they think that.
>>
>>57197496
No it wasn't. He lost to Lenora like a retard from wasting exp and then stopped posting as soon as it would be obvious the level curve was going to overlevel him, kek
>>
>>57197602
fuck i misread, meant the hardest
>>
>>57197636
stop pretending to be me. bw2 is the easiest game
>>
>>57197633
>wasting exp
How?
>>57197644
See>>57197615
>>
>>57197633
Actually they never did waste any exp. If they're correct, they battled every trainer that was available to them. They were level 20, almost 21 when they fought Lenora. Just because they've stopped posting doesn't mean they've, well, stopped posting. They also never said they won't ever get overleveled. Just that, they won't be any more than 4-5 levels above at any one time.
>>
I'd say either LGPE or XY for reasons already mentioned.
>>
>>57193138
BW and BW2

>>57198753
Please give explanations as to why.

No, they were just insisted to be the easiest without saying why.

I've looked through the thread, can't find any that actually apply yawnie.

>>57199075
Was that the last thread then? I remember multiple people mentioning incomplete movesets, piss easy ai, too much experience and in LGPE's case, no option to even turn the EXP Share off.
>>
>>57198976
Was that the last thread then? I remember multiple people mentioning terrible movesets, piss easy ai, too much experience and constant free exp and healing.
>>
>>57199265
thinking lgpe gives too much experience is just evidence you didn’t actually play lgpe and you’re just an NPC parroting what redditors told you
>>
>>57199334
I've played it. Catching gives tons of experience, and what is the whole gimmick of the game? Catching tons of Pokémon.
>>
>>57199334
Thinking it doesn't is evidence you haven't played it, and are just ignoring the collective experiences and knowledge of other players, because you can't admit you're wrong. Try harder yawnie.
>>
>>57199360
>if I grind I get tons of exp
KEK
>>
>>57199385
That's literally the intended way to play the game. You're meant to catch shit. Why include that feature, and market it as the game's big feature, if you don't intend for people to spend a lot of time doing it.
>>
>>57199371
>the collective experiences and knowledge of other players
i.e. “I haven’t actually played the game myself but I parrot what other people told me like a good little NPC”
>>
>>57199403
Nah it means I played and enjoyed the game and decided to see what other people thought and realized a lot of them thought the same.

I rolled over BW so easily I don't even remember most of it. XY was also pretty easy but more memorable. It's hard to judge gens after that because I stopped caring about building a balanced team and just started spamming bugs and rocks which made things a lot harder from gen 7 up.
>>
>>57199302
>parotting when it doesn’t apply
It was explained why XY and LG were easy, but not BW

>>57199413
Honestly surprising as a standout experience. Can you please post some more? I’m not demanding proof I’m just curious about your particular playing experience.

A couple guys repeated and baiting aren’t most people. I’m open to a free dialogue but that just hasn’t happened hey and you can tell by how people speak if they want one.
>>
>>57200187
>nuh uh
>doesn't count

You have autism. Nothing you've said has been proven either but you'll just keep ignoring that. And other games also being easy doesn't make gen 5 not the easiest.
>>
>>57200226
>no rebuttal
Nice concession.
Those weren’t nuh uhs. They were pointing out that you can’t just say shit without having some proof. Meanwhile, the other criticism was given and not adequately addressed despite being very in depth.
>>
>>57200226
>Nothing you've said has been proven
It actually was if you read the thread
>other games also being easy doesn't make gen 5 not the easiest.
right but you haven’t actually proved Gen 5’s the easiest to begin with. If your reasons for thinking so apply to other games, and those other games have elements making them easier than BW that BW doesn’t have, surely it can’t be the easiest
>>
Facts about gen 5
>you can have an entire team of legendaries/mythicals before gym 1
>your rival gives you multiple chesto berries to counter lenora
>there are healers on multiple routes
>there is an easy mode
>the gym leaders and elite 4 use 4 or less pokemon
>the first gym changes types to he weak against the first gift pokemon you get
>>
>>57200249
That first one needs proof but, while the rest are true, they aren’t exactly things that make the game easier.
Lenora is still difficult with the berries because you’ll run out of them before she runs out of PP
The healers don’t make anything easier perse, especially when almost all games have healing items littered in every cave. It just makes manually backtracking less common
Sure there am ways mode but you could just not use it ? It’s only usable after beating the whole games already, and even then who says it’s actually easier than other games? You’re also ignoring the challenge mode.
The amount of Pokemon used doesn’t dictate difficulty at all.
The first gym I’ll give you but it’s literally just the first gym, so I would say “not a big deal” to overall game difficulty but that specific phrase is a no no on here.

I know I might be coming across as some smug bastard so please don’t take offense. If you were just listing things innocently I get it, but it’s the “therefore” that others make that I’m thinking about.
>>
>>57200296
>That first one needs proof
Not even reading further. You don't play or even research the games you so adamantly defend.
>>
>>57200296
>Lenora is still difficult with the berries because you’ll run out of them before she runs out of PP
Hit them, get put to sleep, wake up, and ko. Not hard. Easy.
>The healers don’t make anything easier perse
No, but combined with everything else they certainly do. You don't know what per se means if you argue this one further
>even then who says it’s actually easier than other games? You’re also ignoring the challenge mode.
Me, and challenge mode is literally irrelevant.
>The amount of Pokemon used doesn’t dictate difficulty at all.
It does when you aren't fighting six magikarp.
>The first gym I’ll give you but it’s literally just the first gym, so I would say “not a big deal”
Everyone is aware of your autistic standards. You don't need to explicitly say so.
>I know I might be coming across as some smug bastard
You wish it was coming across as smug babastard. It's more autistic than that.
>>
>>57200152
> Honestly surprising as a standout experience
that’s most people’s experience
there’s a reason XY got better reception than BW.
>>
>>57200454
You completely invented that and it’s wrong.
See>>57196922

>>57200314
Sorry but not everyone knows everything about everything. Show it’s possible or you lied.
>>57200336
Your first point doesn’t work because if the way turns work. Using the berry takes a turn, and you’ll be out to sleep in the next turn.
>combined with everything else
Now that’s a copout. It doesn’t make anything easier just decreases the retreading.
>me
So you have no proof
>challenge mode is irrelevant
If by your logic the easiest game is the one with easy mode, surely it’s also the hardest of it has challenge mode? You can’t have it both ways.
>it doesn’t except when it doesn’t
If you really believed this Necrozma would be the easiest fight, but it isn’t. You haven’t actually said anything to prove the gym leaders and elite fours are any easier
>autistic standards
How so? This isn’t an argument
>it’s more autistic than that
Then I don’t know what to tell you if you think anyone who disagrees with you suddenly has autism.

Autists lmao if x is true then surely the opposite is also true. You're so fucking dumb.

Do you really think that's why people call you autistic? Or could it be more due to the FACT that you have autism.
>>
>>57200572
Ah, so you're backpedaling and saying everything easy or nothing easy. That's another way to say "I failed arguing, so I'll render the discussion pointless because I can't handle the other guy having a point"
Your one source against my six is still nothing.
>>57200576
>if x is true
you haven't proved this part. All you said is "it has the word easy so it's easy lmao". Logically speaking the mode that does the opposite has the opposite effect.

Prove it. How am I autistic? Go ahead and tell everyone what indicated that to you.

You have a weird need to defend a game you like on 4chan, you can't separate facts from opinions, you can't tell anons apart, you reply to every post that even tangentially shits on unova, you constantly ask for sources and evidence while providing none of your own, you think your anecdotes are more relevant than other peoples, etc.

No, just Gen 5. Posting other people as stupid as yourself isn’t an argument.

>>57200635
>you're the problem with anything
Sorry it's controversial discussing pokemon and preferring a region.
You literally made the rest up. You have no sources, and I don't need a source to point that out. I dislike the anecdote way of arguing but it was your camp's deflection so I argued on those grounds. Now you're backpedaling and saying it doesn't matter.
This is getting tiring anon. Post proof or kys
